PLAN TYPE: Stairstep Breakaway
HOW IT WORKS:
Transamerica operates a Stairstep Breakaway compensation structure where independent distributors earn income through a combination of retail product sales and team-building commissions. New distributors begin by purchasing products at wholesale price and selling to retail customers, earning the margin difference. As personal and group sales volume accumulate, distributors advance through rank levels that unlock progressively higher commission rates and bonus pools.
KEY INCOME STREAMS:
Retail Profit, Sponsor Bonus, Team Commission, Leadership Bonus, Incentive Trip
QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Most commission-earning tiers require maintaining a minimum monthly personal volume (PV) or autoship order. Leadership ranks typically require both a personal volume threshold and a minimum number of active, qualifying downline members forming separate business legs. Rank advancement is based on the combined monthly volume of the entire personal organization.
INCOME DISCLOSURE:
As with all MLM compensation plans, actual earnings vary significantly based on individual sales activity, team development, market conditions, and time invested. The majority of active distributors earn supplemental income; significant full-time income is limited to a small percentage of the distributor base. Prospective participants should review the company's official Income Disclosure Statement before joining.
